Re: surf rod repair or buy a new one

Re: surf rod repair or buy a new one

Graham,
Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with composite rods, but understand they are lighter. That as such does not actually worry me too much.
I would like to know the other benefits if I were to buy a new one. Are the modern rods better to cast with etc.

Re: surf rod repair or buy a new one

Such a tough question. It really comes down to personal choice! I would LOVE to restore an old rod just for fun. That being said, If I still had all my old rods, they would never get used. The newer composite surfs rods are so much lighter and have faster actions that I really prefer these days.. I would say go the a tackle shop and hold a few Gary Howards before deciding.
